Wireless Markets and Regulations

We offer complete service for testing and approvals or wireless devices from start to finish. This begins with an initial review of your product and market requirements. We will then determine all of the applicable regulatory EMC requirements and perform the regulatory testing. We will also ascertain and gather all required documentation and exhibits, complete all official forms and documentation, and obtain the certifications necessary that enable you to market your wireless products. The following briefly describes the processes for FCC, ISED Canada, and the European Union.

We are an ISO 17025 accredited EMC Test Laboratory and our test labs are registered with the FCC and ISED Canada.

Information to the user – Specific information must be provided to the end user of the product.

RF Exposure – All wireless devices are subject to ISED Canada regulations for RF Exposure and protection of the end user from RF fields.

European Union

Regulatory Authority – European Commission

Standards/Regulations – Radio Equipment Directive (RED) contains the legal requirements. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Standards apply to radio devices (transmitters & receivers). ETSI
published standards contain both harmonized and non-harmonized standards. The use of harmonized standards gives the manufacturer presumption of conformity with the requirements of
the RED.

Role of a Notified Body – If the manufacturer uses Harmonized standards to show compliance of their device for radio requirements, then the use of a Notified body is not required. A
Notified Body is consulted when no harmonized standards exist for the specific product.

Compliance is based on a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

Labeling – Specific product labeling is required.

RF Exposure – All wireless devices are subject to regulations for RF Exposure and protection of the end user from RF fields.
